I was debating what I was going to do if I ran in to him while riding my scooter! The pics are on my FB page. We are back home now and I have not yet seen any moose around here. They are fascinating to watch and beautiful, but very, very scary if encountered!!bichonpawzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344322575991668081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-13418104577213568772015-03-02T22:53:25.276-07:002015-03-02T22:53:25.276-07:00Thanks for linking back to this post.
